Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Appointment of Shivakumar Rajaraman to Board of Directors
On June 14, 2022, Pear Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Shivakumar Rajaraman had been appointed by the board of directors to serve as an independent director of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Rajaraman was appointed as a Class III director to serve until the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. With the appointment of Mr. Rajaraman, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has seven members. The board of directors also appointed Mr. Rajaraman to be a member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Rajaraman will receive annual retainer fees from the Company in the amount of $55,000 for his service on the Board. In addition on June 14, 2022, he received an award of (i) 100,000 restricted stock units, which will vest and settle (x) as to 100% of the RSU shares upon his cessation of Service Relationship (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan) that qualifies as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Separation Date”), provided that the Separation Date occurs on or after June 14, 2025 or (y) if the Separation Date occurs prior to June 14, 2025, the restricted stock units shall vest and settle only as to the percentage of the RSU shares equal to the product of (a) the number of twelve month periods between the grant date and the Separation Date multiplied by (b) 33.33⅓ (and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Separation Date occurs prior to June 14, 2023 the restricted stock units shall expire unvested); and (ii) 100,000 restricted stock units, which will vest and settle as to 100% of the RSU shares on the Separation Date, provided that the Separation Date occurs on or after June 14, 2023 (and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Separation Date occurs prior to June 14, 2023 the restricted stock units shall expire unvested). Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting of the unit, one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. Mr. Rajaraman will also each have the benefit of the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement.
Severance and Change in Control Plan
On June 14, 2022, the Board approved a Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Corey McCann, and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, Christopher D.T. Guiffre, each of the Company’s other Executive Officers (which currently consists of the Chief Commercial Officer, Julia Strandberg, Chief Product Development Officer, Erin K. Brenner, Chief People Officer, Katherine Jeffery, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Development, Yuri Maricich, and General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Ronan P. O’Brien) and all employees with the title of Vice President or higher who are not Executive Officers, which we refer to as the Leadership Team. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section have the meaning ascribed to them in the Severance Plan. As each Executive Officer’s and each member of the Leadership Team’s employment is on an “at-will” basis, the Company or the Executive Officer or member of the Leadership Team may terminate their employment at any time, with or without Cause. Upon an Executive Officer’s or member of the Leadership Team’s termination of employment for any reason, the Executive Officer will be entitled to receive Accrued Benefits. Individuals in the positions outlined below who become entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan prior to providing twelve months of continued service to the Company will receive only the more limited benefits described below for “New Employees.” The Severance Plan supersedes and replaces the Management Retention Agreements that were in place between the Executive Officers and certain members of the Leadership Team on the one hand and the Company on the other hand.
Chief Executive Officer
If the Chief Executive Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Chief Executive Officer for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, the Chief Executive Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) 18 months of the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary as of the termination date, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over a period of 18 months and (ii) 18 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due; in each commencing no more than 60 days following the Chief Executive Officer’s termination date. The Chief Executive officer will not be entitled to any acceleration of vesting of equity awards under the terms of the Severance Plan.
If the Chief Executive Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Chief Executive Officer for Good Reason within the sixty-day period prior to, or the 12 months following, a Change in Control, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits (and in lieu of the benefits described in the preceding paragraph), the Chief Executive Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) a lump sum cash



payment equal to the sum of 24 months of the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary as of the termination date and two times the Chief Executive Officer’s target bonus; and (ii) 24 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due. In addition, any unvested equity awards held by the Chief Executive Officer that vest solely on continued service will be fully accelerated, and if such awards are assumed in a Change in Control, the vesting acceleration will apply to the assumed award. Any performance based equity awards held by the Chief Executive Officer will not be subject to acceleration, except as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee in its discretion, either pursuant to the Severance Plan or pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
Chief Financial and Operating Officer
If the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Chief Financial and Operating Officer for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, the Chief Financial and Operating Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) 15 months of the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s base salary as of the termination date, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over a period of 15 months and (ii) 15 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due; in each commencing no more than 60 days following the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s termination date. The Chief Financial and Operating Officer will not be entitled to any acceleration of vesting of equity awards under the terms of the Severance Plan.
If the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Chief Financial and Operating Officer for Good Reason within the sixty-day period prior to, or the 12 months following a Change in Control, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits (and in lieu of the benefits described in the preceding paragraph), the Chief Financial and Operating Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of 18 months of the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s base salary as of the termination date and 1.5 times the Chief Financial and Operating Officer’s target bonus; and (ii) 18 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due. In addition, any unvested equity awards held by the Chief Financial and Operating Officer that vest solely on continued service will be fully accelerated, and if such awards are assumed in a Change in Control, the vesting acceleration will apply to the assumed award. Any performance based equity awards held by the Chief Financial and Operating Officer will not be subject to acceleration, except as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee in its discretion, either pursuant to the Severance Plan or pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
Other Executive Officers
If any Executive Officer’s (other than the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial and Operating Officer) employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive Officer for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, the Executive Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) 12 months of the Executive Officer’s base salary as of the termination date, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over a period of 12 months and (ii) 12 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due; in each commencing no more than 60 days following the Executive Officer’s termination date. The Executive Officer will not be entitled to any acceleration of vesting of equity awards under the terms of the Severance Plan.
If any Executive Officer’s (other than the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial and Operating Officer) employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive Officer for Good Reason within the sixty-day period prior to, or the 12 months following a Change in Control, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits (and in lieu of the benefits described in the preceding paragraph), the Executive Officer will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of 15 months of the Executive Officer’s base salary as of the termination date and 1.25 times the Executive Officer’s target bonus; and (ii) 15 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due. In addition, any unvested equity awards held by the Executive Officer that vest solely on continued service will be fully accelerated, and if such awards are assumed in a Change in Control, the vesting acceleration will apply to the assumed award. Any performance based equity awards held by the Executive Officer will not be subject to acceleration, except as determined by the Company Compensation Committee in its discretion, either pursuant to the Severance Plan or pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.



Leadership Team
If a member of the Leadership Team’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Leadership Team member for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, the Leadership Team member will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) 9 months of the Leadership Team member’s base salary as of the termination date, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over a period of 9 months and (ii) 9 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due; in each commencing no more than 60 days following the Leadership Team member’s termination date. The Leadership Team member will not be entitled to any acceleration of vesting of equity awards under the terms of the Severance Plan.
If any Leadership Team member’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Leadership Team member for Good Reason within the sixty-day period prior to, or the 12 months following a Change in Control, then in addition to the Accrued Benefits (and in lieu of the benefits described in the preceding paragraph), the Leadership Team member will receive the following, subject to their execution of a release of the Company: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of 12 months of the Leadership Team member’s base salary as of the termination date and 1 times the Leadership Team member’s target bonus; and (ii) 12 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due. In addition, any unvested equity awards held by the Leadership Team member that vest solely on continued service will be fully accelerated, and if such awards are assumed in a Change in Control, the vesting acceleration will apply to the assumed award. Any performance based equity awards held by the Leadership Team member will not be subject to acceleration, except as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee in its discretion, either pursuant to the Severance Plan or pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
New Employees
If the employment of any individual in one of the positions outlined above is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the individual for Good Reason (including a termination that occurs within the sixty-day period prior to, or the 12 months following, a Change in Control) prior to the individual having provided twelve months of continued service to the Company, the Severance Plan treats such individual as a “New Employee.” A New Employee will not be entitled to any of the benefits described above, and instead upon such termination will receive, in addition to the Accrued Benefits: (i) 6 months of the new Employee’s base salary as of the termination date, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over a period of 6 months and (ii) 6 months of full COBRA premium payments for group term health insurance, which shall be paid as such COBRA premiums are due; in each case commencing no more than 60 days following the New Employee’s termination date. The New Employee will not be entitled to any acceleration of vesting of equity awards under the terms of the Severance Plan.
The foregoing description of the Severance Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
